Residence/Hometown: Originally Albany, but currently lives in Fredonia, NY
Age/Birthday: 16, January 8
Gender/Sexuality: Heterosexual
PB: Anna Speckhart
Any notable differences from the pb? Tori looks mature for her age, people often assuming she's 18 or 19 instead of the 16 year old she actually is. She has one tattoo on the inside of each wrist of a swallow.

She is relatively tall, standing at 5'7". With long brown-black hair and bright blue eyes, she's quite pretty with her bone structure being slightly more like her mother's.

She is thin, though her recent baby weight is still somewhat there. She joined cheer and dance to try and help get rid of it.

Boggart and Riddikulus: Two very angry, brooding giants - otherwise known as Dad and Uncle Yev. Her Riddikulus is them dressed as giant babies, complete with diapers, binkys, rattles, and BABY BONNETS.

Any other relations we should know about: Blake "Oops" Sullivan (son), Shane Sullivan (baby daddy), Francis "Frank" and Helen "Nell" O'Reilly (grandparents), Uncle Yev and Uncle Sasha (father's best friend and his son)

Personality
Likes: partying, having fun, older men, her son (thought it’d be tough to get her to admit it), her brother And, the color purple, flirting, black-light parties
Dislikes: having to go to her grandparents house every other weekend, upsetting her father, having to be more responsible, lectures
Quirks: (Unless you count a daddy complex, none known as of yet.)
Secrets: *She has a son that is almost four months old, who is the product of an affair with a teacher from her previous school, which was the whole reason for her transferring schools. *The only reason she signed up for dance and cheer was to get back into shape and lose her baby pouch.
Strengths: Has a gift when it comes to potion making, determination, ambition
Weaknesses: Single minded at times, not very responsible, still a little naive about life and people

Detailed personality: Trouble is something of a wild child. She loves to party and drink and get high, and generally have a good time. Spoiled, entitled, and fun loving, Tori has been having trouble adjusting to having a baby, even though she spends most of her time at school. It's been difficult for her to transition from hard-core party girl to mom, and she's still trying to figure it out. Though she does call Blake "Oops", she has slowly begun learning how to love him, and would indeed react like a fierce mother bear if she thought he was in any danger. Other than that, she's become slightly more closed off from people, though she is still social and flirty. The only difference is that it's mostly a front, while she keeps a lot of her personal feelings and information to herself.

Personal History: Alexander Driessen never had the best of luck: his fiancee and college sweetheart left him when he was twenty-three, an old school friend of his sister convinced him to go on the run with her only to leave him in the lurch nine years later, the only thing that went his way was that the authorities bought his defense: that he'd been Imperioused. And so he was institutionalized in a wizard psych ward for seven years for his connection to a wanted felon of the wizarding world. In the ward, he met Elaine O'Reilly, one of the nurses who worked on his floor. When he was 'rehabilitated', he continued keeping in touch with her, and eventually courted her. They were married three years after his release, and Victoria was born shortly thereafter, when he was forty-two.

Since then, she's been used to getting her way, even after her brother was born when she was just ten months old herself. Her parents briefly worried about the relationship between the two (since Alex's own sister had a weird rivalry with him when they were very young), but it turned out that Victoria adored her little brother. When they were older, she would often tell people that they were twins. She was six when Jesse was born, and was mostly ambivalent towards him. Sometimes she liked him, sometimes he was a nuisance.

When the time came to go to school, she and Andrew attended their father's alma mater, though were sorted into different houses. She was always the more devious and ambitious one, and And was more studious and clever. Still, they were as close as any siblings, each having the other's back.

Toward the end of their freshman year, Tori attracted the attention of her house head and potions teacher and the two grew close. She had always been rather older looking for her age, and she was certainly knowledgeable in areas where her father would rather she knew nothing about. They kept it discrete, though, for obvious reasons. However, it came out eventually when Tori ended up pregnant. To say that Alex reacted poorly would be the understatement of the millennium. And when one of Alex's closest and oldest friends found out, he too stepped in on Alex&'s side. The ex teacher probably would have ended up dead in a ditch somewhere if Tori hadn't stepped in on his behalf - literally. Alex and Uncle Yev had their wands raised against Shane Sullivan, and a very pregnant Tori stood in front of him and refused to move. Naturally, Alex wouldn't strike his own daughter, though he did distance himself from her for a time, which did make her realize a little just how much she'd messed up. Shane's life was spared though, thankfully in her mind anyway.

However, the trade off was this: Tori was sent away to live with her grandparents, with her son, and she was relocated to a different school. As for Shane... though Alex (and Yev) still wanted to do the man physical harm, they reached an arrangement: they wouldn't kill him (or press charges) if he fully supported the boy financially, and they would be monitoring him to make sure that he would never again be able to get in contact with Victoria. All of his payments would be sent to Alex, and the location of his son would not be disclosed to him for any reason.

So in February of 2011, shortly after Valentine's day, Victoria began school at Dresden Academy, being sorted into Clemons and taking Muggle Studies on the order of her father.

Other Stuff: Any plot ideas? Well... I guess if someone wanted to pick up her brother? I wouldn't be opposed. XD Also, if someone wants to find out about little Oopsie, that'd be totally cool with me!</p>
